Save the Screech-OwI.

Prof Riley, of the Department of Agricul,
ture, Washington, has a good word TO say
for the scTeechowl. He has found that it
does meritorious service by ieastng upon
the web caterpilars, which destroy the foil
age of fruit and other trees. He also says:
perhaps the statement may be of interest
that this little owl is getting much more COM
mon in the vicinity OF such cities in which
the English sparrow has become numerous,
and that the imported birds will find in this
owl as bold an enemy as the sparrow hawk
is TO them in Europe, and even more danger
Gus, since its attacks are made towards dusk,
at a time when the sparrow has retired for
the night and is not as wide awake for ways
and means to escape"
Prof Riley says that the elm leaf beetle,
the bag-worm, the whte-marked tussock
moth and the fall web.worm can be circum.
vented in their depredations upon trees by
spraying tie trees with any arsenical mix
ture. Paris green, we suppose, would be as
good as anything else. These tree depreda-
tors all begin work about the same time; that
is, when the leaves are fully developed, which
is about the middle of May. The trees
should be sprayed then and once or twice at
intervals of fortnight later in the season.

The Masonic Centennial.

The notable event ofthe centennial celcbTa-
ton ofthe Maryland Grand Lodge was the
parade in Baltimore, on Thursday Masons
from ali parts of the State participated, up
wards of 5000 being in line-al of them
wearing high black hats and white aprons.
Mount Ararat Lodge, of Bel Air, the lneal
descendant of the first masonic lodge in
Maryland, which was instituted at Joppa in
1865, held an honorable position in the First
Division of the procession, Gen. Z. B Tyler,
Marshal. Susquehanna Lodge, Of Havre de
Grange, and Stephenson Lodge, ofLapidum,
were in the Fourth Division, Joseph Horner,
Marshal.
The parade started at II o'clock and after
circuitous march arrived at the Academy
of Music, at about p. NJ, where the opening
address was delivered by Grand Master Thos
j. Shryock, who presided. Prayer was offer
cd by Grand Chaplain Rev. J. b. Stitt, and q
centennial anthem composed by Mr.. Jas. r.
Brewer was read.
The address of welcome was by Mayor
Hodges, and an Grafton was delivered by
Past Grand Commander John NJ. Carter.
The Academy was crowded to its utmost
capacity.
The addresses and music were all good and
the Masons and their friends were proud,
pleased and happy.
After the literary part of the programme
had been concluded the fraternity met around
the festive board, and as no room could be
found large enough TO contain them all, they
dined in de,achments at the Academy of
music, Lehman's Hall, the Concordia Opera
House and elsewhere.
Altogether, it was 4 big day for the Mary
land masons.

CARSINs' RUN AND VICINITY.

occupied by $. MlllcE Louis StinCr TO one of j

he lately purchased from Harrison Bradford,
near Aberdeen. J. A. Greenland has purchased
Mr.. Bakers farm, at this place, for the purpose
of enlarging his canning business. a. Cooper

Spring work has been delayed by the tardy sea-

renewed energy, to ruin the tomato trade by an

The Interstate Commerce law has made the
fraternity swearing mad, but has not lessened
the acreage. The same car load of cans that be-
fore the law went into effect, cost s. for freight
charges at Aberdeen. now costs them fifteen dol

this mid the shipper? Probably it is paradox
just here we will say that the calling in of all the
passes aud this advance in local rates. which have
always been higher than through rates, seems TO
insinuate that the railroad interest and money

The evils of easy divorce may be counteracted
either by restricting the power of courts to
grant DEGREES, or by regulating the mode of the
marriage contract, prescribing forms, requiring
publicity, etc. In the Forum for May, Judge
Edmund II. Bennett, who strongly favors the
second way of making divorce less frequent
shows how lightly the contract of marriage is
treated in the legislation of most of the States.
1t is simple truth and no cxaggeration whatever
that in many States, notably New York, man
and woman, or boy and girl, may be married
with less form and ceremony than attends the
purchase of peck of potatoes

DAMAGE RY FLOoD.-Tbe rain on Sunday
night was general, but appears TO have been
heavier in the eastern part of the county than
in any other. Lower Deer Creek was higher,
it is said, than it has been for years. and while
none of the large bridges crossing it were car
ed away much damage was done on the smaller
streams emptying into it. The bridge near
Chenille, on the road to Bel Air. and the bridge
near Davis Mill, were carried away. The bridge
between Glenvillc and Berklcyville and the
bridge near Glenvile, on the road to Cooksville,
were much damaged, hole eight feet deep
having been washed in the filling of the
| abutmeuts of the latter making it irlpassa-
BILE.
The bridge between Berkieyyllle and Como
wingo was also injured.
The hill at Davis Mill was washed so as 10
make it impossible.
Three or four beef cattle belonging to Mr.
Benjamin Silver, Jr., near Chenille, were
washed away by the flood and drowned
Corn fields and roads were badly washed in
many places.
In the neighborhood of Creswel the rain was
also very heavy Corn fields and gardens were
submerged and much extra labor will be ne
cessary to put them in proper condition again.
Last Friday night lightning struck twice near
the house of Mr.. Joseph Boyd, miller at Mill
Green, which is situated near the forks Of the
Statewide road, Dublin district. A walnut tree
was shattered and two of Mr.. Boyd's hogs, out
of five, were killed.
